Absolute Radio posted an impressive performance in the latest RAJAR release for Q2 2012 – particularly in the London market where other stations struggled to hold on to listeners, and with the popularity of its Christian O’Connell breakfast show.
Listening to radio via a digital platform in terms of weekly reach has increased by 10% year on year, with 24.2 million people now tuning in to radio via a digitally enabled receiver (DAB, DTV, internet) each week (up from 22.1 million in Q2 2011).
